Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

Actual runners know not to touch this brand at all. From the reviews I read, only the cloudmonster is acceptable as a running shoe. I would say that they look dope and I would wear them as casual shoes, if I wasn't going to be on my feet for too long.

People who claim that this shoe is soft and comfy are objectively wrong, and probably haven't ever tried a shoe with soft cushioning. Here is a google spreadsheet [google.com] of RunRepeat's midsole softness measurements. Lower is softer. As you can see, the softest On shoe is below the median softness, and On literally has the most firm measured running shoe on record. I know this particular style isn't exactly on the spreadsheet, but when everyone says the cloudmonster is On's softest midsole to date, that's not promising.

Additionally, the runningshoegeeks subreddit pretty much universally pans the On brand for running. Just go there and search the term "cloud". Some indifference around the cloudmonster and universally terrible reviews for every other on shoe

If you're on your feet all day, you can just fall for the medical community's hype around Hokas. Personally, I like brands that don't rely 100% on marketing and actually put out a good product. Brands like Saucony, New Balance, and Asics have some of the best tech in 2022, but they're certainly not your tech bro shoes of choice.

Recommendations: Check out Saucony Triumph 19/20, New Balance Fresh Foam More v3/v4, Asics Novablast 2/3 instead.

I might get hated for stating my experience but these shoes are just okay for the price. My girlfriend got me a pair of the cloudflows and they are very comfortable. This comfort comes at a price as the soft and comfortable outsoles disappeared as fast as snow in summer. I walk/run at most maybe 20 miles a week and the soles were gone in 3 months - much faster than any pair of Asics or Addidas running shoes I have worn. My recommendation is to buy them to walk or work in and don't expect them to last long as running shoes.

This is the old model on clearance. The review it's still too stiff. Heard the new model is better. Also the Cloudmonster.

Are there any ON with a wide toe box? I am noticing my toes are getting crushed and cramped in the Ultraboost's and looking for an alternative.

I switched from Hoka to this brand and love it. The Hoka are softer but way less stable for heavier guys like me.

I'm not necessarily sayin that On runing shoes caused my plantar faciitis... but I am pretty sure they contributed - I know that I only ever initially felt the pain that eventually became the unbearable "nail up the heel" whenever I wore my On shoes, specifically.

I had read about them and a friend of mine used them, so I gave them a try. After my second 5k with them, I noticed my right foot heel hurt a bit. They pain grew the next time. I swapped them out and only wore them for coaching my son's baseball games - same problem developed. I started wearing them for everyday use (they looked cool, after all), figuring I'm walking and not running... and the problem grew a bit worse. I reached out to them - 45 or so days after my purchase - to ask them why I might be feeling pain with their shoes, specifically, and if there was something they could do, and they essentially told me that they had my money, the deal was done, and I was on my own.

I stopped using them all together, but the issue got worse. 8 months (2 of which have been under the care of a podatrist) later, I've stopped running permanantly, switched to biking for cardio, and signficiantly healed up in the present - sticking to my Hokas indefinitely.

If I had known how it'd go, I would have - at the least - swapped out the insole. I didn't realize how flimsy and unsupportive my On stock insole was until it was too late.

Hopefully relating my experience will leave someone else better prepared.

I was looking at these shoes at Nordstrom. They were going for around $150-160. I wear adidas ultra boosts currently and asked the sales rep on his recommendation. He said the ultra boost provides more cushion/comfort. Both are not designed to be pure running shoes but if you are looking for max comfort for working out or walking a lot, he recommended the ultra boost over these.

I have a pair of on cloud from a while ago. I have wide feet, prefer wide sizes though can usually wear normal, and my feet don't fit into them unfortunately. Very narrow, but old model, not sure if still true.
